Friday Freebie – Freeze Dance
Happy Friday! Are you ready for a freebie?! Today’s Friday freebie is a perfect pairing to my posts from earlier this week; Preschool Movement Videos and Preschool Movement Playlist. This cute freeze dance set from Lindsay Jervis includes posters that you hold up when the music stops. The children have to freeze in the same position as the person on the poster. This would be a perfect game for those days when you can’t get outside and the kiddos just need to wiggle. Go download your copy and enjoy your weekend!

Bring on the green grass and short sleeves!” Here’s what I’m up to right now: Listening: I am a hardcore news watcher. When I was a kid i couldn’t understand why my parents watched it every single night, then I went to collage and found myself feeling completely out of the loop if I missed it. Now I watch whenever possible, or I read it on my phone. Loving: I’ve always loved iced coffee, but I recently figured out…
